Bulk Registration

Administrators can use this topic to register (i.e. create logins and user topics) for a group of people in one batch.

Unlike normal registration the administrator is assumed to have correct e-mail addresses for the users, so no verification is required.
Note that the new users are not notified that they have an account. This is so you can prepare and verify the accounts before announcing them.
To announce them use the BulkResetPassword feature: this will assign a new random password and notify users.

Set this to 1 to make the bulk registration overwrite any existing user topics. By default, existing user topics are left alone.

Set OVERWRITEHOMETOPICS = 0

The user table

This table is a template for user data that will be written to the new user topics. If you stick to these basic fields you can just use the first example below.
If you want to write more data (like phone number or country) read the section Customizing user data as well.

If the Password field is not included, then use the BulkResetPassword topic to assign new passwords.
If a password is included, it must be a valid password (> minimum length, etc.)

Add and customize entries, save table. Note that the first row must not contain bolded entries, so don't apply any formatting.

Customizing user data

You can write additional data to the new user topics. Do this by enhancing the user table with additional field names as table headers.

Any fields you define in this table will end up in the User's topic. If a form (such as UserForm) is attached to NewUserTemplate then the data will go in as META:FIELDS, meaning that you can use SEARCH formfield constructs to search.

If you use the UserForm then ensure that it contains all the fields you define here. Otherwise they will disappear when the user edits their home topic!
